Richards Alternate Universe

It was a normal day in canterlot high. *boom!* Sunset Shimmer jumped at the sudden noise. Three boys ran past her, not far behind was a boy by the name of Richard Garret. Richard stopped chasing them half way down the hall.

"I swear to god if you fuckers blow me up again!" Richard yelled. Sunset had seen him before, he was in about half her classes. She remembered the first day of music class. Rich picked up an electric guitar and sat down, the teacher had a test that day. It was to see what you knew about playing your instrument. Rich was asked to stand and play, Rich pulled out an instruction book and started flipping through it. After three seconds of that Rich threw the book behind him.

"Ah fuck instructions!" Rich said, he immediately started playing. He played rob zombies superbeast, he hit every note from the song perfectly. He even sang it, he had a gorgeous voice. When the teacher asked if that was all he knew how to play, Rich started playing three days grace animal. The teacher still wasn't impressed yet, so he played riot by three days grace. The teacher decided to name one song he would do.

"I want you to play ozzy oz born' crazy train." The teacher said. Rich gave him a devilish grin and started the song, he sang and played the guitar through it all. Sunset would even say his skill beat Rainbow's. The teacher took slightly impressed, but he wanted to test Rich with one more song. "Play hail to the king by avenged sevenfold."

"Ha! You picked my favorite song. Prepare to feel the music in ways you never thought you could." Rich plugged in the guitar to an amp, he cranked the volume all the way up. The teacher sat in his chair, looking unimpressed. As soon as he started playing, the teacher had his glasses knocked off his face. After he finished the song everyone in the room started to cheer, except for Rainbow dash who was but hurt.

"Nice work mister Garret." The teacher said.

"Please, mister Garret is my father. I'm not that old, just call me Rich." Richard said.

Back to the current time, sunset shimmer is staring at Rich. She's never really know him personally, as far as she can tell he's nice. Rich turned to see her staring at him.

"Please don't look at me like that, I can be a nice guy once you get to know me. That is, if you don't blow me up." Rich said.

"How did you survive the explosion?" Sunset asked.

"I have my ways." Rich said with a smile. The bell rang, it was time for music. "I have to go to my locker now. Great I'm going to be fucking late again." He said to himself. Sunset shimmer walked into music and sat with her friends. They talked about many things while waiting for the teacher. When love interests came up, Sunset became a little nervous.

"Oo, is that your love interest Sunset? Cuz I think he's watching you." Pinkie pointed to Rich peering from behind the doorway. He wasn't exactly well hidden. Rich stood there for a few seconds before putting on he best Irish accent and-

"Fitliedee they're on to us, Joey get the cupcakes we're outa here! Leprechaun vanish!" Rich said. He ran away from the door frame and down the hall.

"Well, that was awkward." Rainbow dash said.

"No what's awkward is I forgot my guitar, I have it now." Rich said poking his head out of the doorway. The group watched as the boy in full leather put his guitar down on the floor, and put his feet up in the window as he leaned back in his chair. He sat in the corner alone, even when people came in they didn't sit anywhere near him. He pulled out his guitar and tuned it quietly for a second. He began to play Marilyn mansions sweat dreams on his guitar, he didn't sing it, he just played it. Everyone one went quiet to here him play. kinda strange, no one wants to sit with him yet they'll be quiet to listen to him play. He got tired of playing that so he switched the song he was playing. He started playing monster by skillet. Sunset couldn't help but feel as if he was trying to convey something to everyone through this song.

Sunset was walking home from school, she loved to walk home because of the gorgeous plants. The tree's, the flowers, she just found them breath taking. There is one person who always came by the area she was walking, Richard. He rode a Harley Davidson sportster 48 to and from school. The bike was black just like Rich's outfit, Richard always wore black leather boots, pants, jacket and gloves. The only time he didn't wear the jacket and gloves was when he played the guitar. On this day, sunset shimmer was a bit further along then she usually was when Rich came by. She watched rich pull up to his house, cut the bikes engine and get off. He quickly walked up the three stairs that led to his front door, and unlocked the door.

She didn't know up until then, but Rich had two bikes. One was a Honda magna and his main bike was the sportster 48. Sunset made a turn onto her street and as quick as she saw where Richards house was, it wasn't visible anymore. She thought about everything that had occurred today, she couldn't help but laugh at what Richard did with his Irish accent.'Man, what a strange guy.' Sunset thought. She couldn't help but think about something he said when pinkie pointed him out in music, 'they're into us.'
